Dr. Skloven explains the most common symptoms a woman with pulmonary hypertension will experience. Dr. Skloven holds board certifications in Interventional Cardiology, Nuclear Medicine, Cardiovascular Disease and Internal Medicine and practices medicine at Banner Heart Hospital in Mesa, Arizona.
Dr. Skloven:
The common symptoms women experience with pulmonary hypertension are shortness of breath, that’s the main symptom, fatigue, tiring easily, and fluid retention, swelling in the legs, in the feet.
For instance I had a patient just recently with pulmonary hypertension who came in and told me that she had been having more swelling in her feet. She was having to take more water pills to control this. That she felt tired all the time; she would get up in the morning and within an hour or so she had to go back to bed and rest and that her breathing was becoming much more labored with less activity, just walking up by the stairs was causing her to become quite short of breath, and this told me that her congestion was getting worse and I might have to make some modifications in her treatment.
